Daisy Chaining Monitors

[jshhndsd]

Hi Guys,

Is daisy chaining the same as installing a GPU and connecting two or more separate monitors via the GPU? If not, can someone please explain the concept. Thanks in advance.

No.

With some DisplyPort outputs, you can chain monitors to each other, and then back to the CP/GPU.

So...
Single DisplayPort on the PC->Monitor1->Monitor2

Instead of the normal way:
PC->2 or 3 monitors to different ports on the GPU or motherboard.

Thanks. Does this degrade the resolution of the monitors using daisy chaining?

The more monitors, the fewer pixels per monitor.
